Whoever knows pain becomes criticized
from the fire that burned up the skin
I throw a light in my face
a hot cry
open fire!
Bang bang
Whoever knows pain is raised
from the fire that burns in desire
a hard thrust (that gives off sparks) into her womb
a hot cry
open fire!
Bang bang
open fire!
Whoever knows pain is dangerous
from the fire that burns the soul
bang bang
the burned child is dangerous
with fire that separates from the life
a hot cry
bang bang
open fire!
Your happiness
is not my happiness
it is my misery
Bang bang
open fire!
from the fire that burned up the skin
I throw a light in my face
a hot cry
open fire!
Bang bang
Whoever knows pain is raised
from the fire that burns in desire
a hard thrust (that gives off sparks) into her womb
a hot cry
open fire!
Bang bang
open fire!
Whoever knows pain is dangerous
from the fire that burns the soul
bang bang
the burned child is dangerous
with fire that separates from the life
a hot cry
bang bang
open fire!
Your happiness
is not my happiness
it is my misery
Bang bang
open fire!
